Thai food in Edinburgh is a usually bit hit and miss. There are some good options however you normally have to pay for it. I don't think there is the competition that you get with other cuisines, notably Indian food. I found this place to be highly rated on Tripadvisor, so thought it would be worth a try. The lunch deal of two courses for £9.95 also sounded very tempting.
After nearly losing half the lunch party, on the zig zag short cut through the back streets of the New Town, we arrived and ordered some drinks. Most people were tempted by the San Miguel lager on tap and seeing draught beer available is always a nice touch for a restaurant. I decided to go for the more authentic Singha beer in the bottle.
We ordered some prawn crackers and scanned the menu. The lunch menu is quite compact while still providing a variety of options. For a starter the popular options were the satay chicken sticks and the tom yum soup. The soup definitely had a very good and fragrant flavour to it. Due to the nature of Thai food, the curries were the favourite for people's main course. The options being massamam curry (peanut coconut) and the quite interesting basa red curry with the slightly unusual catfish fillets. The ingredients were fresh and the portions were a good size, especially for the price we were paying, The spice factor was quite reasonable and not overpowering. Would definitely recommend to anyone in Edinburgh who is looking for a decent Thai lunch.
